On this day, 342 years ago, July 8, 1683 (June 14, 1683, the lunar calendar), Shi Lang led his army to launch the battle to recover Taiwan. On July 8, 1683 (June 14, 22, Kangxi), Shi Lang led more than 300 large warships, more than 20,000 sailors, and more than 230 small and medium-sized warships to set sail from the coast of Fujian to launch the battle to recover Taiwan. Shi Lang's fleet first launched an attack on Penghu, the barrier of Taiwan Island, thus kicking off the Battle of Penghu. In June 1683 (the 22nd year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty), he was ordered to recover Taiwan and commanded Fujian's naval divisions to quickly attack Penghu. Later, he took advantage of the favorable situation to actively and actively appease the Zheng Group in Taiwan, urging the Zheng Group to give up resistance and pacify it. The island of Taiwan fell without a fight. At that time, there was insufficient understanding of the importance of Taiwan's status within the Qing court and there was controversy over whether to stay in Taiwan. Shi Lang strongly advocated staying in Taiwan and guarding the Taiwan. With the support of Pan Hu Sou Huang Xigang, a scholar (prime minister) of the Qing Dynasty Dongge who was in charge of the Ministry of War, the opinions of Shi Lang (who was the brother-in-law of Pan Hu Sou Huang Xigang, a cabinet minister in charge of the Ministry of War) moved Emperor Kangxi and the ministers of the court. The Qing court finally decided to set up prefectures and counties in Taiwan for management and garrison troops. Shi Lang made great contributions to the reunification of China
